The first-ever Anti-Crime Summit began at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, under the theme ‘Our Virgin Island: Safe Communities, Prosperous Territory’ and will conclude today, Friday, September 26, 2025.
The keynote speaker is Mr Roberto Smalls aka 'Robbie'.
Enhanced security
According to the RVIPF, in a press statement around noon, the Commissioner of Police has directed for enhanced security for the event.
"This includes a coordinated, multi-agency approach with substantial armed and unarmed resources assigned to secure the Summit and its surrounding areas. We are also receiving additional support from our law enforcement partners."
The RVIPF said while there has been no confirmed threat, the safety of all attendees and members of the public "is our highest priority. Officers will be on site to ensure that the Summit proceeds safely and without disruption."
The public has been urged to remain calm and vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity immediately to the police by calling the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or via the non-emergency access number 311.
"The RVIPF is fully prepared and confident in the security measures implemented. The Summit will go ahead as planned, and we remain committed to providing a safe environment for all," the RVIPF stated.

There was an armed robbery in a private home in the presence of multiple persons attending a birthday party last night, and we are just going to proceed with the Anti Crime Summit as normal without erring on the side of caution right? And then more than likely if something happens without security being present, you will be the first one to cry foul right? I tell yuh.
